Edibles Dosage

I'm rather inexperienced with edibles and I will be in a situation this weekend where smoking might not be an option. My obvious option is to see what the dispensary has to eat. I have no idea how many 'edibles' I should eat at a time so I can't figure out how much to bring. I am an all-day, every day toker, so how many candies @25mg thc would work? I need to be able to interact with non-cannabis users, so I don't want too much...

My advice with edibles from dispensaries is the doses are all over the map. 25mg of thc from one shop might be perfect. While 25mg from another is way to strong. Start low and you can always have more......

usually takes up to two hours before you feel an effect.

as for dosing..everyone is different even if they are chronic ,

I have seen 95 lb women with breast cancer ingesting a gram after one week where her husband at 250 was floored on just 50 mg's...

25 mgs and WAIT for two hours before taking more... peaks at 4 hours..lasts about 6 to 8 depending on the amount and or how often you ingest...

I find I'm more sensitive to edibles than most people and 50mg is a good dose for me(comparable to smoking a joint). I'm guessing you'll need at least 3-4 @25mg if you're an all day toker but edible tolerance is completely different than smoking so it's really hard to say. Some people are seemingly unaffected by edibles and others super sensitive. I think it has to do with the metabolite conversion in the liver... enzymes and body chemistry and all that jazz.


I'd say experiment the day before to find your dose since it can potentially take a couple hours to kick in. :eyesmoke:

An OZ of herb produces from 3 to 5 grams or 3000 to 5000 mgs ...

If you make oil first its easier to dose because you know how much oil you are adding to each cookie...in the batch

3 grams of oil or 3000 mgs divided by say 24 cookies

3000/24 = 125 mgs per cookie and that would knock most people on their butt...but not all!

take the grams of oil you want to use and divide it up with the amount of edibles you are making to get your mgs/serving.


NOW how good that oil is depends on the PURE BUD of FLOOR SWEEEPINGS it came :idea:from....

being chronic has nothing to do with whether or not you can take more than the next person...
size doesn't help you judge either...
EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT... and everyone should know that before ingesting,,,
ITS NOTHING LIKE SMOKING!!!

WHO knew (:
that

shoving it up the Wazoo

stuffing it down your throat
and

smoking it would all be different ...:blsmoke:

Its one awesome little green plant it is!!:weed:

Update - I bought a pkg. of 8 gummies with 25mg in each.Yesterday I ate one and waited nearly 3 hours- nothing. So I eat 2 more and wait - notta. Today I'm going to eat the remaining 5 for breakfast and see what happens. Luckily I brought my vape.

Tolerance is built gb...the longer you eat the more you'll need. I only eat for bedtime...I want to be knocked on my ass, the problem is my ass would be huge if I did that every day and I would build tolerance...I'm looking to tinctures now made with sift, as my copd is bugging me.

sure there is a getting used to one strain or another.. and is why I SWITCH IT UP as I go and never use the same strain if its possible...

ever wonder why people who smoke hash get higher on weed and so forth..or that someone elses weed is better?
it usually comes down to the fact you haven't smoked any of that said strain....

wanna be sat down..eat a gram of oil..

ate 500 mg's around 9 pm. 8) its nice

I've heard similar stories from friends about purchased edibles. Supposed 95mg item doing nothing. That's just not right.

I'd suggest making your own, either butter or coconut oil or something. It shouldn't take much to just ruin you. When I make cookies if I eat half of one I'm having serious issues with motor function!

Sounds like where ever you bought them from might be cashing in big time.

I have a buddy who has his license to buy but doesn't grow. He's constantly trying edibles from dispensaries and any I've tried have done shit. I can take 80mg coconut oil caps I make myself and get a nice body stone, mild head stone and all night sleep. I've taken up to 100mg of dispensary shit with no effects. I don't know how they make it or what their starting material is but not impressed. Make your own if you want consistency and quality material in your meds.

Yeah, I ate the last five for breakfast on Monday and....nothing. I've made butter and used it for cookies and it worked great - I just don't like the taste so I thought I'd try candies.
I'll be letting buddy at the dispensary know I'm not happy...

When I get edibles from dispensaries I always ask for the ones made with concentrates. Ive had better results with those.

MOTA edibles are a fucking scam. Ive had multiple packs at once and NADA. Id never buy or recommend their garbage to anyone. Ive had as much as 400mg of MOTA edibles at once and didnt get so much as a twitch. Shit company, shit product

Lol, good to know it wasn't just me. I was beginning to think I was immune to edibles. Any brands that actually pack a punch?
